Chapter 65: Don't Use Disgusting and Base Means to Bully Ling Wu

The corners of Yu Shixue's lips curled up slightly; he replied with a "Good," then turned off his phone screen.

【What is the male supporting character looking for Yu Shixue for?】

【To be honest, I'm actually quite rooting for the male supporting character. I feel like the male supporting character and Yu Shixue have great chemistry, and then there was that love triangle of theirs before... who gets it?】

【Why are there so many fans of the male supporting character? Can you all shut up? F4 belongs to our baby Ming Tan, don't come here trying to cling to his fame!】

【Is the author's brain broken? What happened to the promised Cannon Fodder male supporting character? Instead, they're writing the male supporting character's personality better and better, while completely shattering the protagonist shou's character. Tip: Blade ×99】

【Is the male supporting character starting to seduce Yu Shixue now, and going down the path of being cannon fodder?】

【To those in the comments, shake your heads and see if they rattle—it's all water in there, right? You can even drag "seducing" into a simple meal, it's just mean-spirited and vicious beyond measure. Don't hate the male supporting character so much!】

【The male supporting character's fans are starting to defend him again.】

Yu Tingyun stood silently by his side, staring at his phone screen and asking curiously, "Brother, what are you smiling at?"

"What did Brother Ling Wu say to you? Let me see!"

"What are you looking at?" Yu Shixue tilted his eyes and gave him a cold look: "What Ling Wu talks to me about, what does that have to do with you? Is your homework finished?"

"Tch."

Yu Tingyun crossed his arms, sporting that striking blonde hair as he expressed his dissatisfaction: "Then send me Brother Ling Wu's contact info. I really like him, and I still want to ask him about that Rubik's cube formula from last time."

"How to solve all 6 sides in 30 seconds."

Yu Shixue glanced at his younger brother: "The difference between you and him is intelligence."

Yu Tingyun: "Are you going to give it to me or not?!"

A plan formed in his mind: "Brother, you wouldn't actually like Brother Ling Wu, would you, so you're reluctant to share? Don't worry, once I add him as a friend, I definitely won't tell him."

Yu Shixue's expression shifted slightly, then immediately returned to normal, a meaningful smile tugging at the corner of his mouth: "My marriage partner cannot be him."

So I cannot like him either.

Yet I am invisibly drawn to Ling Wu.

Yu Tingyun frowned, only then remembering that Father Yu had previously picked out a marriage partner for Yu Shixue—the eldest daughter of the Bai Family. There had always been rumors in noble circles about a marriage between the two families, though nothing was set in stone.

He curled his lip: "You haven't even met that eldest Miss Bai, nothing is set in stone yet; maybe she doesn't even think you're good enough."

Yu Shixue couldn't be bothered to deal with him and was in a hurry to dismiss him: "I sent the contact info to you."

"Yay!" Yu Tingyun's eyes shone brightly, and he cheered while clutching his phone: "Then I'm going to go chat with Brother Ling Wu!"

Ling Wu picked up the chemical reagent from the rack and placed it under the light to observe.

Soon, he received a friend request from Yu Tingyun. He originally wanted to click decline, but upon second thought, he still needed to make use of his older brother, so after a brief pause of his fingertips, he accepted it.

"Ding-dong!"

"Ding-dong!"

A series of notification sounds rang out from the phone.

-Yu Tingyun: Brother Ling Wu~

-Yu Tingyun: Good evening, Brother!

-Yu Tingyun: Have you eaten?

-Yu Tingyun: Why are you ignoring me?

-Yu Tingyun: I couldn't find the Rubik's cube formula you mentioned last time online. Brother, can you teach me? I'm very smart, I guarantee I'll learn it quickly.

Ling Wu looked at the messages on the screen, silent for a long moment, feeling that he talked too much...

-05: Good evening, I have, I'm replying, I'll send you the video.

He then uploaded a video of the Rubik's cube formula to him and set Yu Tingyun's messages to "Do Not Disturb."

The world was finally quiet.

After paying the fine, Xi Huaizhi sent a message to Ling Wu: "I might be delayed at the Empire's border for a few days; there is a matter to attend to."

Ling Wu silently transferred money to his bank card and replied: "Go handle it, let me know if it's not enough."

Xi Huaizhi was confused.

What does "let me know if it's not enough" mean?

A few seconds later, Xi Huaizhi saw a notification pop up at the top of his screen: 【XX Bank】: Your account ending in XXXX has received a transfer of 80,000,000.00 Yuan.

Just as the weather forecast predicted, it began to pour with heavy rain over the next few days. Ling Wu took leave until August 9th. Class A also became quiet because Ling Wu, this prominent figure, was on continuous leave; Qi Yu was also on leave.

August 8th, evening, 7:30.

Lower City District B, heavy rain.

Rainwater slammed against the dim Tonggang Avenue like a silver beaded curtain spilling from the firmament. Lightning flashed white, slicing the world into blurred fragments, extinguishing the worldly hustle and bustle.

Thunder and lightning roared, the mottled walls reflecting the white glare of the lightning incessantly.

Heavy footsteps stepped into the mud and water, soaking the pant legs.

Ming Tan gazed at the heavy rain outside the window, listening to the buzzing thunder in his ears. His heart beat like a drum, feeling extremely uneasy. He stood up to pull the curtains shut, and at that very moment, the door was knocked upon.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang..."

With the third knock, Ming Tan's heart beat faster and faster, as if it were about to jump out of his throat. He gasped for air and shouted toward the door vigilantly: "Who, who is it?"

He saw a familiar face through the peephole.

Qi Yu?

What is the villain here for?

Ming Tan hurriedly opened the door. Along with the scent of mud and rain, a thick, heavy smell of blood rushed toward him, so thick it almost masked all other scents. He was stunned: "Qi Yu... you..."

"Are you hurt?"

The young man's figure outside the door was tall and straight, holding a knife in his hand. Qi Yu's cold face was covered in blood, which dripped down from his nose and jaw, mixed with the rain. His lips were bruised, and a pale flash of lightning streaked across half his face; that eye, along with the surrounding skin, lit up in the darkness, the killing intent condensed within it like a drawn sword. The other half of his face remained completely in the darkness, deep as an abyss, cold as an ice cellar.

"Boom!"

Like a heavenly punishment meant to burst from the thick clouds to punish the wicked, purple thunder roared; Ming Tan was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his chest heaving violently.

In an instant, the bloody and brutal methods of the villain Qi Yu from the comic flashed through his mind.

His face was directly facing the blade in Qi Yu's hand, and fear spread like a tide, threatening to drown him alive: "What... what are you doing?"

It's fine, nothing will happen.

You are the protagonist in this comic, the villain cannot kill you.

It's fine...

Ming Tan tried hard to calm his emotions, propped himself up from the ground, and didn't even dare to look at that knife of his, his legs trembling slightly: "Qi Yu, what's wrong with you?"

He thought of how in the original comic, Qi Yu was still fighting in the Underground Boxing Arena, and these injuries most likely came from there.

Qi Yu's arms were wrapped in many bandages, stained with blood, and the movement of his fingers was strange, as if they had been broken; his gaze was like a torch, staring fixedly at Ming Tan without saying a word, as he handed the bank card to him.

After a long while.

Qi Yu suddenly grabbed Ming Tan by the collar, pulling him close with ferocity; in the field of vision that gradually became clear and open under the dim light, the young man's eyes actually held a strange, sinister, and cold-blooded look.

He spoke his first sentence, his voice hoarse and grating: "Return the money to Ling Wu exactly as it is, and don't ever use such disgusting and base methods to bully him again!"

Disgusting, base?

These two words almost made Ming Tan dizzy and overwhelmed with shame...

Ming Tan's pupils flickered.

Did he find out?

How could Qi Yu have known? He had calculated that a noble scion like Ling Wu would not expose his scars in front of Qi Yu due to his upbringing, which was why he dared to falsely claim the credit.

He didn't expect Qi Yu to have found out.

Did Ling Wu tell him?

Qi Yu gave him a warning look, then dragged his heavy footsteps and disappeared completely into the curtain of rain...
